Disappointed With Hotel
Not a 5 star hotel! Needs alot of TLC inside the hotel, including the spa and swimming pool area. Breakfast was very poor quality and they had run out of bread on our secound morning, so they couldnt offer toast, and on the third morning they had run out of salmon. Gardens of the hotel are kept lovely, credit to the gardener, just a shame the hotel isnt maintained like this. Overall was very disappointed with hotel, but Dispite this we still had a lovely time in Bath

Couples night away
Hotel was clean and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor pool and sauna/steam room facilities. Check in and out was straightforward. Grounds were lovely. We didn’t have dinner at the hotel but it is well situated and easy walking distance to the centre. Breakfast was disappointing as took over half an hour to come, was not very big (mushroom was only half a slice!) and toast had gone cold as was served when we sat down so had to ask some more. Staff were attentive and professional. Room was a good size and clean, bed was very comfortable, but no control over room temperature and the interconnecting door to the next room meant we could hear their telly and conversation. Overall a pleasant stay.

Lovely hotel little things need looking at
Im a little sad that this amazing building is let down by a few minor things, which considering this is a 5 star hotel is dissapointing.
The room:
The towel rail did not heat up, one of the electrical sockets in the room did not work. The room otherwise was lovely.
The bar:
We stayed on wednesday and thursday. When we attened the bar we were dissapointed to find it had run out of most of the beers and baileys. We were informed that they had a wedding the previous weekend. Surely the bar should have been re- stocked.
The fire alarm went off 3 times during pur stay, twice after 11pm.
Food:
The cooked breakfast was not brilliant (apparently it is award winning), and the toast was burnt on both mornings.
The location is great for walking around Bath centre. The gardens are amazing too.
These may seem silly things but when staying a in a 5 star hotel you expect more and its the finer details that matter.
